Just wondering if anyone else has had this much difficulty with their '06 X5 4.4...

First week of owning the car the "Self Level Susp Inact" error message comes on. Called dealer and reported problem and was told to bring it in the next time it occurred.

Few weeks later, same issue so car went to dealer and item was allegedly repaired.

Five weeks after that, same issue. Again, car goes into dealer, this time spending two days there and was told the item was, again, repaired. Indicated on our "satifaction" phone survey, that not so satisfied with the car given the recurrent issue. Was told that my concerns would be forwarded to BMWNA and that they would be in touch--never heard a peep from them.

Six weeks later, same issue AGAIN. Car is currently at dealer (tomorrow will be day two).

Have mentioned CA Lemon Law and dealer has filed a report with BMWNA and I will be calling them to follow up.

Any thoughts and/or suggestions?

Car is 5.5 mos old and has already needed service 4x for the same issue. I have young kids and having to take the car in so frequently is getting annoying, not to mention that I get saddled with a crummy Mini-Cooper each time as my loaner.
Yes, I had the same problem! Dealer trip 4 times, but the last time I went to Stevens Creek BMW in Santa Clara CA - They took care of the problem: appearently they replaced several parts - they mentioned $5000 for repairs if I didn't have the CPO. IF YOU LIVE IN THE SF BAY AREA, DON'T TAKE YOUR CAR INTO THE ALLISON (MT VIEW) BMW DEALERSHIP - THEY SUCK - POOR ATTITUDE AND THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR MY X. They told me to just drive around the air susp error and enjoy the rough ride and no DSC. I couldn't accept that. What a difference a good dealership can make! That was in June 06 - No problems since.
